Welcome to my Amazon must-haves: organizing items that make you bougie on a budget.
First of all, please tell me you have Amazon Student Prime because if not, check it out; this subscription is a life saver.
Let me start by saying how important organizing is. Sorry, I have to research before doing anything. Welcome to grad school, a force of habit thing. According to tasteofhome.com, “Organizing your space doesn’t just feel goodâit does your body good, too.” Not just that, but also, “It turns out that organizing your space doesn’t just feel good but may actually be good for your physical and emotional health, too.”
Single Serve Coffee Pod Drawer and Holder
The first thing on my list is a Single Serve Coffee Pod Drawer and Holder. Let’s begin by saying I’m not a morning person, and I relate to all memes with people being moody when they wake up. Coffee is my go-to morning drink every single day, 365 days a year. There’s nothing worse than waking up in the morning in a hurry looking for your coffee pod in a messy box or drawer with utensils. Plus, we don’t need to be loud and wake up our roommates if we live with any.
I try to handle my morning by being calm before hopping on that Zoom meeting or walking to class. My Single Serve Coffee Pod Drawer and Holder is a space and time savior, not to mention that it makes my coffee machine look fancy. The Mind Reader Single Serve Coffee Pod Drawer and Holder, 30 Capacity Coffee Station and Pod Capsule Storage Organizer below has 4.6 stars on Amazon with 20,402 ratings. 78 percent of reviewers gave it five stars and two-percent gave one star, which seems to be a reasonably large number of reviews.
Portable Laptop Stand Adjustable for Desk
The second product on my list would be the Portable Laptop Stand Adjustable for Desk. This is not like the fancy ones out there, but it is a convenient, lightweight and affordable laptop stand. Let me tell you: that was a game-changer. At first, it was weird to adjust to how my laptop looks and feels when I lean my screen backward, but it helped my neck feel so much more comfortable. According to the product description, “It has 6 different adjustable tilt angles, good for neck and shoulder pain from hours of working with a laptop, gives a better viewing angle to relieve eye strain and headaches, keeps your laptop cool, will help your computer operate at a faster speed with greater efficiency through a better airflow and weighs just 0.35 pounds and it can be easily folded into a small size.” The product has four out of five stars with 91 ratings, with 53 percent of reviewers giving it five stars and 10 percent giving one star.
Interlocking Desk Drawer Organizer
I spent 10 minutes looking for the earrings that I decided to throw in my desk drawer, and they disappeared in mysterious circumstances. My miserably cluttered drawer forced me to decide it was time to end this misery and buy an interlocking desk drawer organizer from Amazon. They come in many sizes to fit different items. It’s best to have a general idea of what items you need to be stored and how big or small they are, because bulky and heavy items may not be the way to go with these since they are plastic. However, Amazon has everything one would probably need, so you can look around for metal ones. Still, they’ll be a bit pricey, though. The different-sized storage boxes helped me get organized. According to this product’s description section, “Different Sizes of Drawer Organizer fit any size drawer to meet your specific needs perfectly. The interlocking feature of the bins helps you create your own mix and match organizational system.” This product has 4.5 out of five stars with 5,404 ratings, 70 percent who thought it deserved five stars and two-percent thought it deserved one star.
Cable Holder Clips Cord Management
Finally, the Cable Holder Clips Cord Management. The product is a simple invention, yet it comes in very handy at times. The Cable Holder Clips Cord Manager can help keep your charging cables, USB cords, power cords, cell phone chargers and so on in place. I used to have all my cables tangled together, mainly since I use my phone, laptop, smartwatch and wireless headphones chargers, so yeah, a lot. Â
The cable holder clip was a useful and affordable tool to help with my cord problems. It can be stuck to your desk or pretty much anywhere. My friend has hers in her car to keep her phone charger in place. According to the product description, it is “Suitable for cables 6mm or less including computer cable, speaker wires, power cord, audio wires, USB data cable, network cable, twisted headphone cords and so on. The cable organizer is good for all smooth and clean surfaces at home or office, such as walls, marble, table, plastic, wood or glass. Tips: cleaning the wall, car, desk surface first!” The product has a 4.3 out of five stars with 107 ratings, with 66 percent of reviewers giving it five stars and nine-percent giving it one star.
